Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

{Time: March 3-5, 2004}

{Location: Flower Planting-Jiangcheng}

"In the next two weeks, all remaining work will be left to you to handle. AllBright Law Firm will cooperate with you to handle all legal matters."

As soon as the agreement was reached, Ning Zimo finally spoke his first words after arriving at Ogilvy and sitting down at the conference table.

After the acquisition intention of Ogilvy was reached, the contract details, financial terms and all clauses, details and substantive content to ensure that the acquisition can be fully implemented were handed over to AllBright Law Firm and Luo Shuohan, Wu Zhenyu and Dong Qianqian to handle it.

Regarding Ogilvy, Ning Zimo does not know everything about it. Necessary legal risks and financial risks must be reviewed by dedicated personnel.

Luo Shuohan also arrived a few days after they set out from the special zone. He took several other people from the finance department with him to handle the financial affairs related to several acquisitions here.

"Okay, boss..."

Seeing several people respond, Ning Zimo stood up and pointed to a person across the conference table and said:

"Chen Dong, come here, I have something to talk to you about."

There were 7 or 8 people at Ogilvy, but only Chen Dong was named.

Chen Bin was stunned and glanced at Zhang Shubo.

However, I found that the usually high-spirited boss’s eyes no longer had the usual sparkle.

oh,

wrong,

He already,

No longer the boss.

Chen Dong sighed, then quickly stood up and followed Ning Zimo out.

***+***

Ogilvy changed owners, and Chen Dong became Ning Zimo's man.

Ning Zimo was looking for him for no other reason than because he had the discerning eye to recruit an expert for Ogilvy!

Ning Zimo felt that the person who could lead Ogilvy on the right track was Hu Binguo.

Hu Binguo is an old man from Ogilvy. He joined Ogilvy in 2001 at the invitation of Chen Dong, deputy general manager of Ogilvy, and was responsible for the localization and publishing of the game.

During the negotiation the day before yesterday, Hu Binguo was not qualified to be on the negotiating table, but after the negotiation, Ning Zimo specifically found Hu Binguo through Chen Dong.

Hu Binguo is not an unknown person. As early as 1999, in the early days of Zhonghua e-sports, "StarCraft" player Wang Yinxiong (id:) compiled a "Zhonghua Star Weapon Catalog", and the first one was Hu Binguo (id: red

-apple), and Wang Yinxiong himself is only 55th in this ranking.

But Hu Binguo's resume does not stop there. In 2000, this "first person in the world" took advantage of the Internet to obtain 1 million yuan in venture capital from Tongtu Electronic Publishing House. At that time, Hu Binguo was already preparing to use this fund to complete

A product of my own.

The name of this product is cesa (china electronic sport tournament, flower planting e-sports entertainment competition).

That was in 2000, and the e-sports industry was still looking for a way out of the cracks. There was no uniformity in various competitions, but Hu Binguo had already put forward a complete plan for this project:

1. Establish a player club to attract players to participate and provide systematic services to the public players.

2. Establish an independent information service system, including publications, websites and cooperation with many media

3. Establish a systematic competition system and make the competition the first domestic league with fixed events.

4. Establish a complete competitive competition network and form a year-round continuous online and offline competition system

5. Provide members with opportunities for international exchanges and organize international e-entertainment competitions

A set of rules that were similar to the flower-planting e-sports competition in the year before Ning Zimo was reborn, Ning Zimo just led Hu Binguo to tell it again.

That was something that was engraved in Hu Binguo's mind. He could easily explain it to Ning Zimo, which immediately made Ning Zimo feel quite emotional.

Who said I had no one to grow flowers? It’s just that in an era when piracy and creativity were unintentionally suppressed by everyone, I lacked environment and luck.

In the past two days, others were busy with the final details after Ogilvy's changes, but Wu Zhenyu had been arrested by Ning Zimo, and he gathered again in Ogilvy's conference room with Chen Dong and Hu Binguo on March 5.

How many people do they have to wait for?

A few very important people.

The waiting time was quite long, half an hour passed after the agreed time, and finally there was a burst of footsteps coming from the door.

Listening to the intensity of the footsteps, Wu Zhenyu felt that there seemed to be a lot of people coming.

"People are here"

Ning Zimo stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked to the door with a few people in the room.

When the knock on the door rang at the same time, Ning Zimo had already walked to the door.

Ning Zi took a long breath and silently responded.

Across the door stood Ning Zimo, Wu Zhenyu, Chen Dong and Hu Binguo. Outside the door stood Dong Qianqian and four young men.

Ning Zimo only glanced at it and smiled at the tall and thin man: "Isn't it rare that you are willing to move out and move around?"

Because of Ning Zimo's words, everyone present focused their attention on the tall and thin man, making him immediately shy.

He scratched his head: "Isn't it that CEG has finished his work? You have been dating me for a long time, and this time it is rare for you to send out an invitation. I haven't seen you on the Internet for several years. Of course, I have to take advantage of it in real life."

Let’s take this opportunity to meet you.”

()

Ning Zimo took another glance, looking at the faces that were still a little green in the past year, and felt very good.

"Come in, don't be stunned. It's rare that you all get together, let's talk about something important."

Ning Zimo turned around and said to Dong Qianqian: "Get some water for a few of us, and order a table of food to be delivered. We will stay in the conference room at noon today."

He turned around and asked everyone again: "It's been a long journey, is it okay?"

(fuck, fuck)

(fuck, fuck)

(fuck, fuck)

(fuck, fuck)

"What else can we do? You have already arranged everything. Who will keep us young?"

The group of people had a black line and readily agreed.

Before we sat down separately, before introductions could be made, a box of bottled water was delivered to us. The person who delivered the water closed the door.

Ning Zimo then turned around and said, "Although they all look familiar to me, why don't you give me a formal introduction?"

"Would you like to introduce me to Mao Yao? I know them all!"

Wu Zhenyu, who hadn't even had time to sit down just now, walked up with excitement on his face and shook hands with the four people one by one without forgetting to say something.

"Hello Ma Tianyuan, I am Wu Zhenyu, tut tut, winner of the Golden Finger Award at the 2003 Flower Competition, and fifth in the WCG Beihan Finals in the same year."

"Hello Chen Yu, I am Wu Zhenyu. I have long heard of the reputation of e-sports pioneer Han Yuliang."

"Hello, Hong Zhefu, I am Wu Zhenyu, the four-time national champion in 1999 and 2000. Gee, this championship is different."

"Pele, I am Wu Zhenyu, hello, hello..."

Wu Zhenyu looked like he had never seen "the world", which made Ning Zimo feel ashamed.

Oh my God, he is the general manager of a company with 100 people after all. This idol's performance is so good! But when he made such a move, the scene suddenly became lively.

Only then did Hong Zhefu introduce to the other two people present who had not had much contact with Ning Zimo: "Tian Yuan, Chen Yu. This is zergrrrr with a mouthful of ID. He is the one who acquired Ogilvy."

StarCraft players are still accustomed to using IDs. After all, it was the first time for Ning Zimo to meet them offline, so it was normal for Hong Zhefu not to know his name.

Although Ma Tianyuan and Chen Yu were vaccinated by Hong Zhefu, they were still a little cautious when facing Ning Zimo who could acquire Ogilvy.

Ning Zimo couldn't control that much, so he walked up and gave the two of them a Western-style hug as a greeting gift.

"I called you to come, but there is something very important."

Ning Zimo opened his arms and looked towards Hong Zhefu and Pei Le.

The two of them are old acquaintances of Ning Zimo. Their names in QQ and games are: one is dby and the other is king. They are two StarCraft players who allow Ning Zimo to maintain a 100% winning rate against professional players.

Hong Zhefu was born on August 9, 1977 in Heb City, Heb City, Huazhong Province. He graduated from the English Department of Heilongjiang University. He is a five-time national StarCraft champion and has the title of "The First Person in Huazhan Starcraft".

In 1999, the "Interstellar Expedition Village" was opened in Harbin. In 2001, at the WCG2001 Global Finals in Seoul, Hong Zhefu served as the team leader and led 14 team members to win 2 gold medals and 1 bronze medal in one fell swoop, ranking second in the world on the national gold medal list.

Excellent results.

In the trajectory of his previous life, Hong Zhefu, who walked all the way in the darkness, is one of the representatives of the pioneers of e-sports. During his career, Hong Zhefu sent 100 flower planting national budget competition winners to major international competitions through funding and domestic selection.

The remaining people.

These outstanding players include well-known celebrities, such as world champion Ma Tianyuan (mty). Wei Qidi (roast duck). Meng Yang (rocketboy). Guo Bin (cq~2000). Sun Liwei (xiaot). Chen Zhiliang. Li Xiaofeng (sky)

).wnv team w4 women's team. swan5 women's team, etc.

Many well-known manufacturers and institutions also participated in the event, such as Lianzhong Company, C Company, idg Flower Electronics, Sansang, Netcom, Lanleiwan, Tcl, Intel, Nvidia, etc. It was also officially at this time that the company became Flower Electronics

The golden age of competitive sports and international exchanges played a huge role in promoting the development of the domestic e-sports industry. Hong Zhefu also laid his foundation and influence in the industry and is known as the godfather and veteran of Zhonghua e-sports.

Speaking of which, e-sports in the previous life had a good development environment after 2010, but in 2004, the concept of the older generation of flower-growing people in the land of flowers was filled with the formula "e-sports = playing games". E-sports

The path has not yet been clear, and I am still struggling under various misunderstandings and pressure.

But with me here, the embarrassing situation of e-sports in the previous life will definitely change.

There will definitely be better development than in the previous life!

At this moment, Hong Zhefu, who was standing in front of Ning Zimo, could not understand Ning Zimo's inner turmoil at all. He just smiled openly and said, "I think you must need a lot of people to play such a big game. So I put it

Gather all the people I can and see if I can help you."

When Hong Zhefu spoke, he glanced at Hu Binguo and immediately sold him out.

Hu Binguo could only scratch his head at Ning Zimo's questioning look: "Boss, after you came to me the day before yesterday, Brother Hong asked me on QQ. I could only tell the truth and revealed to him what you had told him.

The acquisition of Ogilvy.”

Hu Binguo's boss's voice was very smooth.

After all, Ogilvy, where he currently works, is already an industry owned by this boss.

However, Hu Binguo is very good at betraying his teammates. When he and Ning Zimo were sitting together and chatting just now, he didn't even mention this matter.

But thinking that this was also a fact that would be announced later, and that it was innocuous, Ning Zimo was happy that they were offending them like this, which would make the scene more lively.

Therefore, Ning Zimo allowed everyone to chat about miscellaneous topics in the lively scene.

But there is a purpose for getting together. As we chatted, we naturally returned to the purpose of this gathering.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were directed towards him, Ning Zimo didn't hide anything. He looked at everyone one by one and said, "I have known Lao Hong and Pei Le for a long time. There are three of them."

More than a year, but mostly chatting on the Internet..."

Three years ago in 2001, the Zhonghua e-sports circle was still very small. Ning Zimo has been a StarCraft player since he was a freshman in high school. After the establishment of the Asian League, he spent a lot of time on the Asian League Battle Network. At that time, his level was pretty good.

The good Ning Zimo relied on his endless tactics to fight against professional players with cas names on the battle network.

The Asian League was still a small circle at that time, and experts tended to gather together consciously. Ning Zimo's interstellar level was so high that people would naturally notice him. And the first person to contact him was Hong Zhefu, whose ID is dby.

, and the second person is Peile whose ID is king.

At that time, Hong Zhefu had already turned to the job of leading the team. He discovered many talented players and saw something in Ning Zimo that was unusual from other professional players. Peile also had a similar purpose.

, but when they chatted on QQ, they discovered that Ning Zimo had no idea of ​​career development at all.

"To this day, I still maintain this 100% winning rate against these two professional players!" Ning Zimo smiled proudly.

"Hey, you guy! Let me tell you, if you play a game with me now, even if you use Xiaofeng's radium snake keyboard and mouse set that claims to increase your strength by 20%, you may not be able to beat me!" Peile

Not to be outdone, he smiled.

Wu Zhenyu on the side suddenly raised his hand and paused it in the air, immediately attracting the attention of several people.

"What's wrong?" Hong Zhefu asked curiously.

Wu Zhenyu glanced at his boss and saw that his face was full of smiles, so he could only squeeze out a weird smile from his face.

"You mean radium snake, right?"
